Montrose County Landfill is the county landfill out on Landfill Road in Montrose, where local residents and hauling services bring trash for final disposal. It’s a working, industrial site rather than a tidy transfer center, so expect the look and sounds of a typical open landfill.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth - county landfills commonly charge by weight, so plan on stopping to be weighed and again when you leave. The tipping fees are typically structured with a minimum charge and then a rate per ton, and county sites like this often accept commercial loads as well, which are billed the same way. The site itself is large, dusty at times, with heavy equipment moving around; pull up slowly, follow the flow of trucks, and head toward the drop area after clearing the booth.
